Newbie Knitter

Okay, I like to knit but I'm a newbie and I'm going to try to venture into knitting things other than scarves and mittens. I'll be sharing the progress of my projects and heck, anything else that's on my mind!

What's In My Hamper?

Here's a cute little hamper that I bought yesterday in an attempt to make my yarn stash more concealed:



So what's in the hamper??? Well I decided to make a trip out to Knitomatic yesterday afternoon in the sweltering heat and picked up some yarn for my Secret Pal and myself. I got kick @ss deals at Knitomatic because all of their felting yarns were 50% off (well of course except for Cascade 220 and Manos) cuz they're clearing out some of their winter yarns. Here's the stuff that I bought for myself which will be put in the lovely hamper:


In the back is Galway Worsted yarn which I think I'll make a French Market bag out of. And then the small balls of yarn are Online Tessa Superwash wool yarn which I will make a pair of mittens out of (yup, preparing early for Winter this year!).

Oh and here's a picture of some yarn that I had dyed using Kool-Aid a while ago. The colours were grape and blue moon berry.


The colour combination turned out spectacular, in my opinion. When I get my Knitpicks yarn when I go to Michigan (got the order delivered to my sister's house) I'll dye it when I get home perhaps using these colours again because I just love it!
